it is time for me to stop being silent on my experiences with sexual harassment, at least one of them. i always convinced myself to have faith and empathy for people who hurt me but im learning to put myself first these days because it fucks me up ceaselessly (1/?) https://twitter.com/pdrizzzzle/status/1266473924776226816">https://twitter.com/pdrizzzzl...
jon harassed me and a lot of girls back in 2014. for me, it was threats of self-harm and suicide after I rejected his advances. prob other stuff but I blocked that out. I feel like I can say without doubt that if you were a wasian girl at JLHS, you were on his radar
throughout my next 4 yrs at hs I tried to stay a friend because I believed he changed and that he was just messing with me. but he continued to be manipulative and project offensive arguments. for me i did best not to react since that’s what he wants from yall
not to mention this over and over, sure a lot of you can relate
during the events of his arrest, I was silent. and I still was amicable with him when he reached out to me. I didn’t believe the victim.
but today I’ve learned that there are countless women who have faced the same exact thing from the same exact man.
and I realize now that while I had blocked my experience with him out and tried to pretend I was fine, it is the same story for my other experiences with sexual harassment. there is always another girl. there are always countless girls. who are just like me and they are in pain.
I became involuntarily asexual in 2016. I fear intimacy and trust.

For all women out there who have experienced anything, whether it be physical or spoken, your reactions are valid. The changes in your life are valid
Do not give into your empathy for others if they have hurt you. It is time for you and I to have empathy for ourselves before putting anyone else first.
and if it isn’t clear from my tweets, I believe every victim. I regret anything I ever did that may have put down any victim. I am done being blind and trying to stay out of it
